But I can't post it on FT.
And I can't sent you a PM.
And I can't email you.
So you will never know.
Sumimasen.

What is the current policy regarding preferred seats in J? At some point it was "any revenue pax", later it was limited to status pax IIRC, but I haven't paid too much attention to this subpar product.

"When I was your age...", I did transcon redeyes all the time in UA E+ or Y without problems. Now, I can only do it sparingly. As for TATL redeyes (which are also mostly longer than transcon redyes), once I land, I check-in at the hotel and the sleep several hours even if I slept "well" in my pod.

This thing keeps popping up as the equipment type on flights I'm considering from LHR to YVR, in Y. Which raises two questions..
a) Should I pick the 787 rotation instead?
b) I flew to LAX a few months back on Air New Zealand's 777-300 which is also configured 3-4-3 in Y. I see much the same complaints about that but frankly it was alright. Is the AC config worse?

I hardly sleep on a plane, pod or not. When I land in Europe, I stay awake all day, push myself to stay up until 21:00 or 22:00 then get a good night sleep and avoid jet-lag.
And I'm guessing we're probably similar in age.
